Wet Lab

An ophthalmology wet lab is a specialized training environment where ophthalmologists and trainees practice surgical techniques on artificial eyes, animal eyes, or cadaveric tissue before performing procedures on patients. These labs are essential for developing and refining microsurgical skills, particularly for delicate procedures like cataract surgery, corneal transplants, and retinal surgeries. Equipped with surgical microscopes, phacoemulsification machines, and other ophthalmic instruments, wet labs provide a hands-on learning experience in a controlled setting. They enhance surgical confidence, improve precision, and help reduce complications, ultimately ensuring better patient outcomes.
